Midleton entered the championship as the defending champions.

On 25 October 1987, Midleton won the championship following a 2-12 to 0-15 defeat of N Piarsaigh in the final. This was their fifth championship title overall and their second in succession.[1]

Na Piarsaigh's Mickey Mullins was the championship's top scorer with 0-33.

Seeding

Seeding was introduced in the draw for the championship after being advocated by County Secretary Frank Murphy for the previous two years. The system of seeding was introduced to safeguard the financial potential of the championship and to avoid "lop-sided" finals. After some debate, Blackrock, Glen Rovers, Midleton and St. Finbarr's were deemed to be the four strongest clubs and were separated.
